Cold Cold Fusion Ecology
Exploring The Atom-Ecology Of Cold Fusion/LENR Brings Constant Surprises
My eight new testbed experimental reactors reveal more mysteries
Catching the events in real-time is a challenge we’ve finally sorted
This past week my experiments have been so many, a baker’s dozen running simultaneously. In this collection cold fusion is like a box of chocolates, one never knows what one is going to get.
I was happily consumed working with my paired gamma spectrometers calibrating and cross-calibrating and studying just one reactor that I keep for short time frame messing about with. In the background were our eight new systems being dutifully monitored by a new and wonderfully functioning state of the art data logging system whose bugs seem to be finally all gone. (Thanks to my colleague Martin for the countless hours he put working with me to fine-tune the new 36 channel data system that logs every second of every day.)
Dance of lovely gammas begins as we catch a falling star
While I knew some of my new fuels under test in the eight pack reactor system had been giving some clear cold fusion signals for more than a week I had put them all to sleep for a test to see what sitting totally unpowered at room temperature a few days might do.
In the early afternoon Friday my attention was captured by a classic cosmic ray WOW event that hit one of the 9 Geiger Mueller detectors, the room background detector to be exact not even a live reactor. The cosmic ray signal was several times background and being in the room background Geiger counter it was unusual.
That cosmic turned my gaze to the 8 reactor displays and I began scrolling through their real-time data logs. It caused my good friend and collaborator Alan to say, “did you catch something” from his side of the lab bench. As I was watching and studying the logs I noticed one of my best newly fueled reactors started showing a dramatic increase in the Geiger ‘gamma’ signal. That’s like the signal at the top of this page that covers 8 hours of time. (This chart is just a typical recent cold cold fusion result, far from the best which I will reserve for the formal journal revelation.) That brought Alan scampering over from his side of the lab bench to join in the amazement.
ZERO Input Power Required
Keep in mind that this signal has arrived in the total absence of any energy input. The red signal is, of course, the lovely gamma performer while the blue signal is the background Geiger a meter or so away. (There’s a hint of action showing in the yellow fuel mix data trace 🙂 As anyone can see the red signal is indisputably larger than the blue background, several to many times that background. While this signal is anomalously high and might be due to a hypersensitive GM tube such persistent ‘cold’ signals are frequent in my new fuels. Much work is needed to sort things out and find the wheat and the chaff.
Confirmation with a second superior instrument
As it happened since I was working with my Gamma Spectrometer at the time I noticed this signal so I was able to unplug the laptop and it’s gamma spectrometer which happily runs on the laptop battery and move it quickly to the performing reactor. What a pleasure to be able to see the ‘rough’ gamma signal in the constantly running Geiger counter array and then move the more definitive Gamma Spectrometer(s) into place to study the cold fusion emissions in far greater detail. Because many of the reactors were not producing a Geiger signal there are multiple background readings.
Most surprising in this new work is the behaviour of this new ‘Atom-Ecologyâ„¢ fuel’. Once initiated the new fuel mix is happy to work as a ‘hot-dry’ cold fusion heat source with just the ‘perfectly definitive and confirming whiff of correlated gamma rays’ even while sitting cold on the bench. It is a welcome addition to my line of experimental studies on ‘hot dry’ cold fusion which I began in my first such bench top experiments 25 years ago. This new fuel bodes very well for being able to produce and distribute working cold fusion experiments to collaborators in major physics labs with vastly better facilities than our old Essex farm building.
With this confirmation of my ability to make good working cold fusion fuels I am getting eager to bring my pocket-sized Atom-Ecologyâ„¢ cold fusion reactors to the mountains of more precise emission studying gear, and most of all find some younger minds and muscle with enthusiasm to help with the task of watching, studying, cataloging, and improving the plethora of cold fusion reaction diversity in hand and on display in this very special energy ecosystem.
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
Everywhere on this blog you may read more about my nearly 3 decades as the world’s only atom-ecologist.
Hmmm, now where did I put my helium mass spectrometer, I think I might best dig it out and run the matching heat, helium, gamma experiments. That will settle, once and for all, the nonsense that cold fusion is not real and ready to save the world from the ills of the fossil fool age.
A fun idea of an early product 😉
Very nice result.
